日本語/Japanese▶【切り絵】Eric Martin（MR.BIG）
He is one of my favourite singers from my youth.
I was a kindergartener then!
The first CD I bought with my money was the one of an EMB album (re-issued in 1997.)
My father has the same CD issued in 1983, but some bonus tracks are included in the 1997 version so I bought the one!
The producer is Kevin Elson, who sat on the mixing area on the live show of Journey and I sat next to him.
I was an elementary school kid then.
I thought I saw his face before but I couldn't remember at that time.
I should've remembered because he saw me several times.
Maybe he recognized a little girl sitting near him...
[Working process]
Let’s start cutting.
Maybe you can’t imagine the whole image with this pic.
Now you can see the stand mic image and can imagine where I am, right?
I couldn't cut the stitching of denim material before, especially an in-seam line, but now I can do it smoothly.
Next, his hair.
Then his “Pretty Face” ;-)
If you see me cutting someone's face line, maybe you think “What the hell?
But everything will be fine!
Here’s Eric!!!
I used the recent image of him as a reference, but the cutted image may be close to one of his best album jacket image of 1996. :-)
His hand is the highlight of this artwork.
I like the expressions with hand(s) for my Kirie.
Now the right side seam of his jacket fits naturally in this image.
Cutting his arm shape, and almost done!
The cut image is going to be framed soon.
You can see my left hand and long fingers below, almost the same size as Paul Gilbert. :-)
Actually, I don’t have such l ong ones, though...
BTW, as a fan of MR.BIG, which song do you love best?
I love How Can You Do What You Do.
The song was written with Jonathan Cain, and rarely performed on their live show, though...
I made my Kirie of Pat Torpey 2014, now Billy and Paul are left.

Oh… I made Paul’s before...
I forgot what I’ve done because Paul's image is not framed.
(I made a sticker with the Kirie.)
After I finish all the guys of MR.BIG, I want to frame Kirie and line them up.
I hope you like it!
